[Abstract] Transfer RNA (tRNA) is an essential link between the genetic code and proteins. During the process of translation, tRNA is charged with its cognate amino acid and delivers it to the ribosome, thus serving as a substrate of protein synthesis. To analyze the charging state of a particular tRNA, total RNA is purified and analyzed on an acid-urea gel. Separated RNA is then transferred to a membrane and detected with a probe for the tRNA of interest. Here, we present an improved protocol to analyze the tRNA charging state in the α-proteobacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris. Compared to the classical method, the RNA isolation step is optimized to suit this organism. Additionally, a non-radioactive platform is used for electrophoresis and Northern blots. This significantly reduces ...
[摘要] [摘要]转移RNA（tRNA）是遗传密码与蛋白质之间的重要纽带。在翻译过程中，tRNA带有其同源氨基酸，并将其传递至核糖体，因此可作为蛋白质合成的底物。为了分析特定tRNA的电荷状态，纯化总RNA并在酸性尿素凝胶上进行分析。然后将分离的RNA转移到膜上并用目标tRNA的探针进行检测。在这里，我们提出了一种改进的协议来分析α-变形杆菌Rhodopseudomonas palustris中的tRNA充电状态 。与传统方法相比，优化了RNA分离步骤以适合这种生物。另外，非放射性平台用于电泳和RNA印迹。这显着减少了此协议所需的时间和精力。
[背景] tRNA的主要功能是，与其他翻译因素的帮助，以确保mRNA的蛋白质的准确的翻译。氨基酰基-tRNA（带电）将氨基酸带到核糖体中以延长肽段，然后释放不带电荷的tRNA。tRNA的充电状态主要取决于可用资源（即氨基酸）及其被核糖体的消耗量。为了分析细胞tRNA的充电状态，已经开发了使用酸性脲凝胶分离总RNA并通过Northern印迹检测感兴趣的tRNA的方法（Janssen等人，2012； ...

[Abstract] The spatio-temporal expression pattern of a gene provides important indications to better understand its biological function. In situ hybridization (ISH) uses a labeled complementary single-stranded RNA or DNA probe to localize gene transcripts in a whole organism, a whole organ or a section of tissue. We adapted the ISH technique to the plant parasite Meloidogyne spp. (root-knot nematode) to visualize RNAs both in free-living preparasitic juveniles and in parasitic stages settled in the plant tissues. We describe each step of the probe synthesis, digoxigenin (DIG) labeling, nematode extraction from plant tissue, and ISH procedure.
[摘要] 基因的时空表达模式为更好地理解其生物学功能提供了重要的指示。 原位杂交（ISH）使用标记的互补单链RNA或DNA探针来定位整个生物体，整个器官或一部分组织中的基因转录物。 我们将ISH技术应用于植物寄生虫
【背景】到目前为止，植物寄生性线虫的稳定转化尚未成功。 ISH能够在整个装载的Meloidogyne spp中分析体内时空基因表达。线虫。这些根结线虫在土壤中以微小蚓状幼虫（J2）形式孵化并感染宿主植物根部。 J2s穿透根部并迁移到根部维管柱状细胞。幼虫定居在根部，发育成J3和J4寄生幼鱼，诱导分化专化饲养细胞。线虫最终发育成梨形雌性，将在根表面释放数百个卵。在这里，我们报告了一个详细的协议来检测准备性整体安装J2s和寄生阶段中的单个RNA分子。寄生虫阶段的ISH需要在感染根部提取线虫前一天采取额外的程序。我们描述了在线虫整个组织中使用地高辛（DIG）标记的cDNA探针检测转录物。
